Arriving in Jining at noon the next day, Chang Yu deliberately went to the canal wharf to rest, and the crowd was naturally eye-catching, and there were even good people who asked them about things: "The military master came from Nanjing?" ”

"How do you know that we are from Nanjing" Guo Ren drank a large bowl of tea and wiped the sweat beads on his head, and the man said: "A few days ago, thousands of cavalry passed here, saying that they came back from winning the battle in the south, and said that they were from the Dongchang Guard, and the majesty was tight, where are you soldiers?"

Guo Ren glanced at Chang Yu, and said to the man with a smile: "We are the people of Xuzhou Gao General Army, and we are going to Jinan on official business." The onlookers sighed: "I heard that your Gao General Soldier is also very tight, and he fought a tough battle in Anqing."

"Hey, you guys are very well-informed" Chang Yu exclaimed, and the onlookers said nonsense: Since ancient times, the wharf has been the most well-informed place, and if there is something going on, the first thing to know is the people on the wharf......

Chang Yu nodded: "We are busy fighting in the south, and I don't know what has happened here recently, let's talk about a few things."

"That's a lot, I don't know which one the military master wants to hear" The person who spoke looked at the tea bowl in Chang Yu's hand and smiled, Chang Yu was very interested in asking the tea shed owner to serve a bowl of tea to this man, and the man wiped his mouth after drinking: "Seeing that the military master is so generous, I will tell you two big ones, the first old man of the Kong family in Qufu died half a month ago, some people say that he died of anger, some people say that he was killed, and no one knows how he died."

Chang Yu sighed, glanced at Li Muxian next to him, and found that this old Taoist looked like a smile: "What about the second one?" ”

"The second one......" The man pretended to be very mysterious and whispered, "I heard that the prince and several big officials in the palace are around here"

Chang Yu was stunned: "In Jining? ”

"I don't know exactly where it is, some people say that I encountered it in Kaizhou (now Puyang) in the Daimyo Prefecture, and some say that I encountered it in Fan County in Dongchang Prefecture, but I don't know exactly where it is."

Chang Yu looked at Li Muxian, and Li Muxian said in a low voice: "These two places are very close to each other, from here along the canal to the north is Liangshan County, Nafan County is separated by the Yellow River in the northwest of Liangshan, does the governor want to see the prince?" ”

Chang Yu shook his head: "Let him wander around by himself, our family has no time to meet him for the time being" said and looked around on the dock: "Find a place for the brothers to eat and rest."

Although the weather is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the weather is still extremely hot, if it is cloudy, it is good, and it is no different from midsummer when it is sunny.

Chang Yu and his entourage of nearly 100 people rested and ate in a forest near the dock, when a man in black with a hat and a horse walked slowly and was stopped by the guards, but the man in black continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard.

The guards immediately issued a warning signal, because there was a precedent for assassination, and no one dared to be careless: "One step further, don't be careful!" The man in black finally stopped, and then lifted his hat, and the guards who had already pulled out their knives were stunned: "Hey, it turned out to be you."

"My Dao Dugong is coming to the dock to rest, it turns out that I am waiting for him" Li Muxian glanced at the man in the shade of the tree and shook his head slightly, next to Ma Yingkui, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu, who had just been fooled by him, asked curiously: "Who is that woman?" ”

"A first-class killer!" Li Muxian couldn't help but beat the spirit as she spoke: "Don't mess with her."

cough cough cough, Ma Yingkui disturbed his head: "We can't mess with her" Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu quickly nodded and asked in a low voice: "Are there many such killers in the East Factory?"

Li Muxian smiled: "Do you want to know, just one or two silver, Poor Dao can tell you a lot of secret things in Dongchang."

The three of them hurriedly shook their heads: "You dare to say the secret things of the East Factory, and we don't dare to listen to them."

Su Jing walked to Chang Yu's side and tied the horse, then sat down cross-legged and opened the water bag and drank a few sips: "Why did it take so long to come back?" ”

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Please, it's a war over there, it's not a fight, how can you come back so soon!" ”

"When I started, I heard that Bai Wang had been captured and killed, and I thought that you should come back in three or five days at most, but hehe, I wandered around this dock for more than half a month" Su Jing rarely smiled, but at this time, there was a faint smile on his face, Chang Yu saw it really, this little nun has a human touch when she laughs, and it is too cold on weekdays.

"What about Lotus Heart? I won't throw it in Nanjing," Su Jing said and looked around, Chang Yu waved his hand: "Walking by water, there are a few people under my hands who need to be taken care of."

Su Jing sighed, and suddenly said: "Isn't it Wuzhong, they are injured, why are they gone."

Chang Yu snorted, and Su Jing was shocked: "Who is so powerful to hurt them?" ”

"Hundreds of thieves and soldiers" Chang Yu glanced up at her: "The battlefield is different, there is no single fight in the rivers and lakes", and then the conversation changed: "You are not injured."

Su Jing pouted: "I didn't see the second person of the Kong family from the time I entered the mansion to the time I left, can a bad old man hurt me?" ”

"We thought you would use medicine, but I didn't expect it to be as simple and rude as it is" Chang Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and Su Jing heard the voice: "Is this easy for people to suspect you?" ”

"Maybe, but it's not important, maybe there will be some influence when he doesn't die, no one wants to come out when he dies" said and glanced at Su Jing: "There are two kinds of killing people in Dongchang, one is open-minded door-to-door killing, one is assassination, that is, silent killing, preferably the kind of killing without traces, you are this kind of Jianghu method...... Although it has been done quietly, it has left traces, but fortunately, the Jianghu technique is not very reminiscent of the East Factory ......"

"What are you going to say to yourself" Su Jing rolled his eyes: "Do you want me to maintain the Jianghu technique or learn your Dongchang methods" Chang Yu laughed: "Art is not pressing, it is always a good thing to learn more."

"But I don't want to be an Eagle Dog!" Su Jing snorted coldly, his face was like frost in the blink of an eye just now, and he got up and left: "Take a step first."

"You don't even know where we're going, so let's go first?" Chang Yu was very helpless, this subordinate was too individual, and he would throw his face at any time.

"I heard that the prince is near the left, why don't you go looking for him?" Su Jing turned around and said, Chang Yu heaved and waved his hand: "Then you go look for him."

Su Jing sighed: "Then the capital is waiting for you!" ”

Chang Yu looked at his back and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, his personality is very individual, but he is a little silly, you don't want to be an eagle dog in Dongchang, but you already don't know it.

Two days later, in the evening of the Yellow River ferry more than ten miles west of Jinan City, Chang Yu and his entourage attracted the attention of the wharf merchants, everyone had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, and they did not care at all and went directly to a tea shed to ask for tea to quench their thirst, and it was much harder to travel more than 300 miles for two consecutive days than the march.

"Is Master Jun going to Jinan City?" The tea shed guy asked casually, Chang Yu snorted, and the guy shook his head: "I can't get in, the city is closed, but you may be able to go in as soldiers."

"Why is the city closed" Guo Ren asked curiously, and the guy said while busy serving tea and pouring water: "Haven't you heard, the general soldier of Jinan City Liu died in the south, and then a few days ago, thousands of cavalry came to the city and closed the city, and the people were strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and I heard that there was a curfew" He pointed to the boats that stretched for miles on the shore of the pier: "Look, they are all waiting to be unloaded into the city......

"Duke, are you going into the city?" Li Muxian asked in a low voice, Chang Yu shook his head; "Chunxiang can handle this matter," he said, looking at Yan Yingyuan and the three of them not far away, he beckoned.

"You can go straight to Jinan City to ask for a meeting with Chunxiang, and the father-in-law of Chun will tell him what the governor has explained, and after listening to him, you can follow his arrangement," he said, arching his hand: "Let's see you in Shanxi."

Yan Yingyuan hurriedly returned the salute, hastily packed up and said goodbye to Chang Yu and went straight to Jinan City.

"Could it be that Gonggong Chun closed the city because of the Liu family...... Not from? Li Muxian was a little worried, Chang Yu shook his head lightly and looked at the backs of Yan Yingyuan and the three of them: "Prevention is the only thing to do, do you think the Liu family can still make big waves now?" ”

The two of them were muttering here, but over there Chen Ruxin was eye-catching with a few people in the neighboring stall, there were six people on the opposite side, four rough and fierce men, and the remaining two were a weak young man with a hint of fear on his face, and the other was an old man sitting next to the young man and whispering something.

"Don't you think those guys are a little weird?" Chen Ruxin stabbed Chen Suole with his arm: "Obviously not all the way, that young man seems to be being held hostage."

"Isn't it a rich boy who was kidnapped by bandits" Chen Suole raised his eyebrows, the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became, and this kind of thing was very likely in Shandong, so he got up and walked towards the table.
